"I've seen General Ye." Cai Yan got out of the car and saluted Ye Chen.

"Miss Cai doesn't have to be polite." Ye Chen also returned the salute to her, while her maid Xiaoli stood behind in a regular manner and didn't dare to speak, just looked at Ye Chen with curious eyes.

Cai Yan and her maid stood behind Cai Yong after meeting the ceremony, and they would still do these gifts when outsiders were around.

"General Ye, these Wuhuan people are just disregarding people's lives and committing murder and robbery in broad daylight?" Cai Yong's face was pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened or angry.

"What you have seen is true, this is nothing for Wu Huan, the last time Wu Huan went south on a large scale, the situation was much worse than this."

"Alas, did the Great Han really fall into this? A handful of aliens dare to burn, kill, and loot in the territory of our Han Dynasty. Cai Yong said that tears flowed down his eyes.

"Lord Cai, don't worry, since the juniors have returned to Youzhou, they are not allowed to continue to be presumptuous, but I don't know why Lord Cai and Miss Cai are here?"

"This time, I deliberately resigned from the official to go out to study, starting from Luoyang, all the way, in Jizhou for a long time, Jizhou walked all over, and found that the situation in Jizhou is indeed much worse than around Luoyang, and there are hungry people everywhere. After that, we planned to go to Youzhou to take a look, I heard that Youzhou was not peaceful, so we followed a caravan over, I didn't expect to meet the Wuhuan people, if it wasn't for General Ye to arrive in time, the old man was afraid..."

Cai Yong was very emotional, he had seen too much on this trip, and the more he saw, the more disappointed he was with the Han Dynasty, which was originally a powerful empire, but now it is so weak that even most of the people can't feed them, so that they can have a stable place to live.

"So where is Lord Cai going next?"

"There's no clear purpose."

"Then it's better to go with the juniors, I just want to go back to Liaodong, and I will protect you along the way, this Wuhuan people are not a small caravan that can be saved, if you encounter a large group of Wuhuan people, even a caravan of thousands of people can't do it."

The caravan can only release bandits and bandits, and it is really difficult to survive a large force of Wuhuan cavalry.

"It's fine." Cai Yong didn't refuse, in fact, he came to Youzhou this time for a very important thing, that is, to go to Liaodong to see if what Ye Chen told him before was true.

He wants to use his actions to explore a way to save the Han.

Ye Chen dealt with the scene, and then set off with Cai Yong and his party, this time Ye Chen was not with the caravan, the caravan was too slow, and Cai Yong and his party were left with a few people.

Soon after the team left, Ye Chen saw the scouts in front of him rushing towards him, everyone knew that something was wrong, and the team immediately went on guard.

"Report, we found a Wuhuan cavalry of more than 5,000 people in front, which is rushing towards us."

Ye Chen frowned after hearing this, the five thousand Wuhuan cavalry is indeed troublesome, but the most troublesome thing is the Cai father and daughter, if he doesn't bring them, Ye Chen can break through with a charge, even if he wants to fight with them, he will not necessarily lose.

But with Cai's father and daughter, it is obvious that they will not be able to break through, so if they fight to the death, I am afraid that they will also suffer heavy casualties.

However, Ye Chen had no choice, it was impossible for him to leave the Cai family father and daughter.

"Array."

A thousand guard battalions formed a circular formation, surrounding the Cai father and daughter in the middle.

"Lord Cai, Miss Cai don't have to worry, thousands of Wuhuan cavalry can't help us, you go to the carriage so as not to be injured by mistake." Ye Chen was afraid that they would be afraid, so he hurried over to comfort them.

Cai Yan saw Ye Chen's calm face, and her nervous heart calmed down, because she thought that Ye Chen could really deal with those terrible grassland barbarians.

Ye Chen returned to the formation, and at this time he could already hear the sound of heavy horses' hooves.

"Who is so bold as to dare to kill my son." Before the people could see it clearly, they heard the Wuhuan man who was the leader shouting.

The guard battalion remained in place, and the Wuhuan cavalry rushed over, but they did not dare to attack immediately when they saw the posture of the guard battalion.

"Who are you that dare to kill my son?" When the other party saw that the escort battalion was not an ordinary team, they became suspicious and did not dare to attack immediately.

"Qiu Liju, don't come unharmed." Ye Chen came out of the formation and said in the position of half a horse's body.

The other party actually knew him when he heard it, and after looking at Ye Chen for a long time, he didn't dare to be sure who the other party was.

"Are you Ye Chen?"

"Why, I haven't seen an old friend for a few years. We've fought against the Huns together. ”

No wonder Qiu Liju didn't know Ye Chen, he hadn't seen him for two or three years, plus Ye Chen fought every year, his figure changed a lot, and he was wearing armor all over his body at this time.

"Ye Chen, it turned out to be you, misunderstanding. My brother has sinned against you by hunting here, and I will make amends to you below. Qiu Liju sat on the horse, although he wanted to make amends to Ye Chen, he didn't mean to make amends at all.

"Huh, hunting? You actually regard plundering my Han people as hunting, Qiu Liju, if you quickly retreat to the grassland, I can still spare your life. ”

"Ye Chen, you have to be clear about the situation, now we have more than 5,000 people, and you, at most, 1,000 people."

"A thousand? It is true that there are only a thousand people, but it is not impossible for a thousand of us to destroy you, and besides, if you fight with us, it is probably impossible to escape from our Han and return to the grassland. The imperial court ordered me to be General Jianwei, responsible for clearing out the Wuhuan cavalry that entered the Han Dynasty, and you should not quickly retreat to the grassland. ”

"Ye Chen, why do you want me to be my enemy, this Great Khan went south this time, and he didn't offend you Liaodong A single grass and tree, I looted in other places, do you care?" Qiu Liju yelled in annoyance.

In fact, he has a deep grudge against the Ye family, but the situation is stronger than others, he knows that he is not the opponent of the Ye family now, what makes him resentful of the Ye family is that they support the Cliff King, and now the Cliff King's strength has overpowered him.

Originally, the king of the cliff would pay a large amount of tribute to himself every year, but last year Qiu Liju proposed to operate together with the king of the cliff, and after being refused, Qiu Liju sent an army to force the king of the cliff, but he didn't expect the king of the cliff to be strong, and he didn't get a bargain.

This time it was miserable, the king cut off their supply, they had money and it was difficult for them to buy what they wanted, and this winter a lot of cattle and sheep froze to death, and as a last resort, Qiu Liju chose to go south again.

He knew that the Ye family was powerful, so he didn't dare to go to Liaodong, but in the past few days, many of his Wuhuan cavalry have been wiped out, and his strength has weakened again.

When he knew that another of his own warriors had been killed, he was angry and immediately rushed over, but he didn't expect to meet Ye Chen when he came over.

Seeing that Qiu Liju was angry, but Ye Chen was still calm, he was not without worry now, he and the guard battalion could leave and fight, but after the chaotic battle, it would be difficult for the Cai family's father and daughter.

"I am an official of the Han Dynasty, and it is my duty to protect the people of the Han Dynasty.

"Enemy of you? Haha, I am indeed afraid of you in Liaodong, but now, far away from the Ye family, and you only have a thousand people, I am still afraid of you. ”

Qiu Liju turned hatred into anger, and that anger wanted to burn Ye Chen.
